Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams who settled there in 1636. He settled there after being kicked out of Massachusetts for his religious views. Since then, many who sought to escape religious persecution, such as Catholics and Jews, in Europe and in other American colonies settled in Rhode Island. In fact, the first Synagogue in America is in Newport, RI, and RI has the largest per capita Italian-American population of any state.
